Chapter 908 Fire
"It's a fire in the next house." Chen Moqing covered his mouth, "Oh my God, so late, are all the people in their family sleeping?"
Yang Fei said: "Call the police quickly."
Chen Mo went to the living room to make a phone call.
The common alarm phone numbers, fire phones, emergency phones, and alarm phones in the United States and Canada are all 911.
Mouse and Tie Niu also heard the sound, and ran to the yard with Yang Fei, looking at the house next door with a huge fire.
"Master Fei, the fire is getting bigger and bigger. Will it spread to us? You might as well hide first!" said the mouse worriedly.
Yang Fei said: "The fire alarm will come soon. Let's find a way to rescue the people next door!"
Tie Niu Road: "Get in from his backyard and knock on the window to save people."
Ning Xin heard this and said, "This is the United States, and it is illegal to enter other people's homes without authorization."
Yang Fei frowned and said, "I can't care about so many things, save people first!"
"Mr. Fei, don't go, I will go with Tie Niu." Seeing that Yang Fei was about to take action, the mouse quickly grabbed his arm.
Yang Fei said: "You guys are careful."
Iron bull and rat climbed over the wall and jumped into the next backyard.
The mouse elbowed the rear window glass and shouted inside.
After being in the United States for so long, mouse also learned simple English conversations.
There was a faint scream of horror from women and the cry of children from inside.
Yang Fei took two quilts, got wet, and threw them over the wall: "Put it on! Be careful!"
The mouse and the iron cow each took a deep breath, put on a wet quilt, flipped through the window and entered the house, carefully avoiding the thick smoke and flames, and sneaked towards the voices.
In the bedroom on the second floor, a black woman, with three children, was trapped by the fire.
The mouse rushed in and said loudly: "I am here to save you! I am the neighbor who lives next door to you!"
The woman had seen rats and iron cows and shouted to them for help.
The mouse looked out the window and said, "There is only one way, jump down!"
The woman shook her head in fear, said she didn't dare, and pointed to her children, saying what should the children do? How dare they jump down when they are so young?
The mouse said, "Believe me, I have a way, you go down first!"
The woman looked downstairs and shrank back in fear, but still didn't dare to jump.
The mouse said, "This is just the second floor, you don't have to be afraid. The first floor has been burned by fire, and the second floor has also burned. The smoke rolls in. It won't take long to die."
Tie Niu held his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice: "Mad, this woman is unsaved. She wants to die, but she doesn't take the child!"
The mouse didn't care much and said to Tie Niu: "You go down first, pick up people from below, I'll throw the children down, you must continue! When the children are safe, this mother will naturally dare to jump down."
Tie Niu had already wanted to go down, so he immediately yelled, flipped over the windowsill, jumped down, took advantage of the power of cushioning the fall, and landed steadily on the ground. He rushed up to him and opened his arms: "Come down! Come down!"
The windowsill on the second floor are not actually high from the ground, four or five.
The mouse picked up a child, followed the iron cow and threw it down.
The iron bull moved left and right, easily catching the person.
The rat threw down the three children in a row, and they were all caught by Tie Niu.
These three children are not old, the oldest is a little girl, who is only about six years old and the youngest is only over two years old.
The fire quickly rose, and thick smoke rolled on the second floor.
The mouse pushed the black woman: "Jump down!"
The black woman was obviously extremely scared, holding her face with her hands and shed tears, but she did not dare to jump.
The mouse shouted: "Your children are all below. If you don't jump, they will lose their mother!"
The black woman was stunned and nodded with gritted teeth.
The mouse asked loudly, "There are only four of you in your family? There are no one else?"
The black woman suddenly screamed and pointed to the next door and said, "I have an older daughter, sleeping there!"
The mouse said, "Then you jump quickly! I'll save her!"
The black woman closed her eyes and jumped down. She was a little fat. After hitting the ground, she rolled twice like a ball before stopping. She got up and found that she was not injured. She cried with joy. She went over and hugged her three children, and looked up at the second floor at the same time.
Fire also emerged from the windows on the second floor.
Some building structures began to loosen and fall down.
Iron Niu protected the black mother and son and walked to the fence.
Yang Fei responded here and took the children over.
"Where is the mouse?" Yang Fei asked in a deep voice.
Tie Niu turned around and pointed upstairs: "There is a girl upstairs, and Brother Mouse is still saving people."
Yang Fei's heart sank: "Call him down quickly, it's too dangerous!"
Tie Niu returned to the window and looked up, and saw that the mouse's body appeared in the window.
The mouse held a girl of seven or eight and shouted down, "Iron Niu, catch it!"
Tie Niu shouted: "Brother Mouse, you come down too!"
The mouse threw the girl down.
This girl is tall and heavier, and her downward force is very strong.
Even though the iron cow was as strong as a cow, it was crushed by the impact and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the girl is safe and sound.
The mouse was as light as a swallow, and jumped down, and the clothes behind him were on fire. He punched a few rollers on the ground, put out the fire, and together with the iron cow, he protected the girl and climbed over the fence.
At this time, the 911 fire alarm sounded.
The black woman hugged her eldest daughter, and when she saw her unconscious, she burst into tears.
Yang Fei pinched the girl's Renzhong pussy and tried hard.
The girl woke up with a wow sound.
The black women kept bowing to Yang Fei and others to express their gratitude.
The fire was extinguished by the firefighters, and it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.
The fire inspection was conducted and it was initially determined that it was a fire caused by aging of the dryer circuit.
The black woman was too tired last night and went to bed after washing her clothes and putting her clothes in the dryer. She did not remove the plug, which caused the electric fire.
In the United States, there are fires caused by dryers every year, and there are many.
Yang Fei temporarily accommodates black neighbors to stay at home.
It was only after ten o'clock in the morning that the black husband hurried back.
His name is Martin, a congressman who has just rushed back from Washington.
In the United States, not all members of the parliament are rich, and there are many middle-class and even poor people.
At the end of the 18th century, when the United States established a representative state, Congress, as the legislature, only met for a few months a year, and members of parliament had no salary, and only had six dollars a year for catering subsidies, which was equivalent to less than two hundred dollars now.
By 1815, after major events such as wars, turmoil, uprisings, etc., it took a long time for the Congress to hold meetings, and some poor people appeared among the members of the parliament.
If you don't pay wages, it is equivalent to letting the wealthy and leisurely class monopolize the Congress.
So, lawmakers began to receive $1,500 in salary each year, equivalent to about $20,000 today.
Nowadays, the annual salary of the Senate and Representatives is $174,000, which is only an upper-middle income in the capital Washington area. In a metropolis like New York, it is only enough to rent a small suite in the luxurious area of Manhattan.
Members spend more than ordinary people.
The most important thing is that you must maintain housing in your constituency and then need to have a place to live in Washington.
Unless the congressman happens to represent a constituency near Washington, you can commute.
Members meet at least four days a week, so members must stay in Washington for at least three nights.
When Vice President Biden was a senator, he took a train from Delaware to work in the capital for more than an hour. Over time, he became familiar with the railway workers.
Those members of the long road will not have this blessing. Former Speaker Pelosi, who flew back to San Francisco several times a month, is closer than Seattle.
Martin is a black congressman. At the age of 38, he gave birth to four children and was unable to buy another property in Washington, so he could only run around.
Yu Jin, his only home was also burned down!
Martin held his briefcase and stared at his home like a sculpture. The house that had been ruthlessly burned to black charcoal by the fire could no longer tolerate him and his family.
He was wearing a straight suit and tie. If he hadn't had his expression been distorted and painful and helpless, he would have looked like a successful person.
Yang Fei looked at his side face and looked very much like Denzel Washington.
Martin loosened his tie and said to himself: "This room can still be built and people can still be lived."
At this moment, with a "boom!", the house collapsed.
Chapter completed!
